I hope you guys can help, I'm in a bind.
I'm running 10.9.1 on a new Mac mini. I was getting good TM backups to my ReadyNAS NV running 4.1.10 until earlier today. I plugged in an external HDD to my NV to make a backup, then Time Machine started freaking out. Not sure if that's what the actual cause was. I went ahead and updated to 4.1.13 on the NV, but that still doesn't work. TM setup tries to connect to the ReadyNAS, but then errors out with the standard "There was a problem connecting to the server "nas-01-xx-xx" The server may not exist or is unavailable" error message.
The strange thing is, I can still access all of the AFP shares on my NAS. Just Time Machine can't connect.
